This cookbook brings together over 200 recipes from current members and alumni of FFA—recipes that hold true to the organization’s healthy living credo while serving up great tastes from America’s heartland. Illustrated throughout with photos from the organization’s past and present, the book is a rich source of recipes for hearty home-cooking and a delightful look at the spirit of America’s past and future.
